Beery and children of Ft. W’ayne are visiting relatives and friends here this week. Mr. and Mrs. Mesters formerly of Paulding county are now residents of our burg. Mrs- Shanna Railing has employment as a domestic at the home of Jacob Graber and family. Mrs. M. Meriss has returned to her old home at this place after spending the winter in Kentucky. Grandma Stalter living northwest of town is quite ill at this time with little hope of her recovery.

Charley Markley and wife of Marion were visiting Albert Christman and wife last Friday. Noah Mangold of Decatur was a business caller at this place Thursday, he was accompanied by his daughter Gladys. Miss Rosa Lobsiger who has been visiting with Albert Christman and wife returned to her home at Vera Cruz Tuesday. L. L.

Misses Mary and Ida Baumgartner who are attending school at Angola came home Saturday to attend the wedding of Noah Baumgartner and Fanny Stuckey, Tuesday evening. Miss Bessie Baumgartner was pleasantly surprised last Saturday morning by receiving a county dipplomo with the highest grades of any in her class it will be remembered that she with others failed this spring owing to not being recommended. Stuckey <fr Tremp have opened up I their new meat market. One only need step inside to see that its as cozy and up to date meat market as may be seen any place. A large new cooler has been placed in, house plants decorate the show windows and every thing is up to date. Cal Miller, Dee Lewton, J. D. Hale, Charles Ernst, Judge R. K. Erwin, A P. Beatty, Louis Boknecht and Tom Durkins went to Indianapolis this morning tc attend the Democratic state convention. Yesterday was the last day for the news and candy butchers on the Grand Rapids railroad, and from now on the newsboy’s familiar voice will not be heard and passengers will no longer be pestered by them trying to force their wares upon them in their earnest desire to make a nickel. This should prove to be a wise move upon the part of the railroad and will be hailed as good news by all the traveling public. Between the ages of twenty and thirty years the maximum of suicides from grief, chagrin and from being crossed in love occur. Between twenty and thirty, too, fall the maximum from alcoholism, insanity.despondency, domestic trouble and fear of disgrace. From thirty to forty come the greatest numbers from business losses and ill health. Females have a tendency to commit suicide at an earlier age than males.

IMAGINATION. Instance* Shotting How It Has Mad* Well Men Sick. The domination of Imagination over tlie norma! exercise of the faculties is no new idea. Samuel Rogers suffered from a violent cold from the effects of what he believed to be an open window at his back, which in reality was closed. An instance of this known to the medical faculty is more strange still. Two men stayed at a house in which an Inmate had died of cholera. One man placed in the room in which the patient had died was in ignorance of what had occurred. He slept well and was no worse. The other, wrongly told that the room in which he slept was that in which the cholera patient had died, spent a night of mental agony and in the morning was actually found to be suffering from this complaint. He died of cholera. A similar instance was mentioned the other day by a friend of the writer. Two London men stayed in the country at a house where scarlet fever was reported. One. an unimaginative, healthy minded fellow, awoke ail right in the morning. The other, a nervous, sensitive man. was very ill—had not slept and had broken out into a terrible rash which both declared to be scarlet fever. A wire to a London medical man was dispatched, and by the first train he hurried down. The supposed fever patient proved to have no fever at all beyond an imaginary one. As a fact, there was no scarlet fever in the house, the case had been wrongly diagnosed, and the frightened visitor had tortured himself into a violent rash, all without cause.—St. James Gazette.

BASKET BALL. Ah American Game With No [ncertainty as to It* Orijrin. Basket ball as a recreative game is unique in Its origin for two reasons: First, it is our one positively sure, home American production; secondly, the name, date and place of its authorship are exactly known. Basket ball was born in the year IS9I at Springfield. Mass., and its author was James Naismith. The story is short enough to be interesting. In that town is a training school connected with the Young Men's Christian association and of course professors, among them a professor of psychology, who is paid to teach the young ideas how to think effectively. In one of his lectures he called attention to certain conditions upon which the brain could with advantage be exercised and challenged his elass to supply the requirements to meet them. The conditions were the invention of a new Jame which could be played indoors in a limited area by a defined and unalterable number of contestants and adaptable to both sexes. Upon this hypothesis one of his pupils, James Naismith, the same night evolved basket ball. It was put into practice the next day experimentally and found to meet the conditions and limitations laid down by the professor admirably. But it had more than an academic value, as its spread as one of our most appreciated pastimes attests.—lllustrated Sporting News.

Fooling the Colonel. I doubt if the pranks of the present day subaltern are as pluckish as those of his predecessors. I can remember a story that went the rounds some years ago of a daring junior of the Grenadier guards who chaffed his colonel in a fashion that would not be tolerated today. But the colonel was not disposed to deal leniently with him. He kept unusually late, or rather early, hours, so one day an early parade was ordered unexpectedly, and five minutes before the hour the colonel rode past the culprit’s quarters. Cheerfully unconscious of impending doom, the latter leaned out of his bedroom window in the airy garments of sleep to say good morning. The colonel chuckled and rode on. but to his surprise at the stroke of time the subaltern stepped out on parade fully dressed and all in order. He knew of the trap and had donned the looser garment over his uniform to take a rise out of his superior.—London Tatler. Where Wives Are Pawned, They have a curious way of utilizing wives and daughters in some parts of India. If a man wants money he puts these members of his establishment in pawn, and his creditor detains them until the del tis discharged. The custom varies in different localities. In Nellore the Yercalls pledge their daughters to creditors, who may either marry them or give them away, and a man who has to go to jail deposits his w ife with another man of her tribe until his return. In North Arcot unmarried daughters are frequently mortgaged and become the absolute property of the mortgagee until liquidation. He Wouldn’t Ask Further. Contributor—Would you take it kindly if I were to ask you on what grounds you refused my latest poem? Editor—Yes. if you’ll take kindly to my true statement of the case. Contributor (after slight hesitation)—Good day, sir.—Baltimore American. Good Fortune. Mr. Backlotz (enviously)—She has the greatest luck in selecting servant girls. Mrs. Backlotz—Don’t talk nonsense! Y’ou mean she has great luck in having servant girls select her. —Exchange. Hl* View and Her*. He—As for me, life isn't worth th« living without you. She—As for me, the living you earn isn't worth the life. —Cincinnati Commercial Tribune. No sword bites so fiercely as an evtl tongue.—Sidney.

’ " THE PORCUPINE. m Only Known Creature That Eat* the Foliage of the Hemlock. “You don't have to skirmish around much to get feed to fatten one of these hemlock porcupines on,'' says an old woodsman. “Just sprinkle some salt over a stick of cordwood or saw log for that matter, and he'll eat the whole business and enjoy it as you would mince pie.” The customary diet of these animals is hemlock browse. They make themselves a home in a hollow log or under the roots of some old tree, but always within reach of a big hemlock. The hemlock is their pasture, and they make beaten paths going to and fro between the tree and their home. Once up in a tree the porcupine goes out on the big limbs and, pulling the small branches in with one paw, browses on the pungent leaves. In going through the woods you will find little piles of these fine leaves on the ground under hemlock trees. That means that a porcupine is feeding in the tree, the leaves on the ground being dropped from his feast. Sometimes a porcupine will remain in a hemlock tree for a week at a time, hugging close to the trunk at night and feeding during the day. This curious little beast is the only known living thing that eats the foliage of the hemlock. DANGER SPOTS IN A STORM. Place* to Avoid When the Lightning I* Flashing. Out of doors trees should be avoided in a thupderstorm. and if from the rapidity with which the explosion follows the flash it is evident that electric clouds are near at hand a recumbent posture is the safest. It is seldom dangerous to take shelter under sheds, carts or low buildings or under the arch of a bridge, and a distance of twenty or thirty feet from tall trees or houses is an eligible situation, for should a discharge take place these elevated bodies are most likely to receive it. It is well also to avoid water, for it is a good conductor, and the height of a human being near the stream may determine the direction of a discharge. Within doors we are tolerably safe in the middle of a carpeted room or when standing on a thick hearth rug. The chimney should be avoided on account of the conducting power of the carbon | deposited in it, and gilt moldings or | bell wires are sources of risk. In bed . we are tolerably safe, since blankets and feathers are bad conductors. It is Injudicious to take refuge In a cellar, because the discharge is often from the earth to a cloud, and buildings frequently sustain the greatest injury in their basements.

QUEEN BEES. Wonderful Provl.lon of Nature by Which They Are Made. A marvelous phase of bee life is the power which tbej' possess to raise queens, or mother bees, from eggs or very young brood that would in the ordinary course produce workers, which are neuters, or undeveloped females. If by any chance a queen is killed or lost the whole colony would perish were it not for this wonderful provision of nature. Much perturbed at first at their loss, the bees after some hours settle down and deliberately build a pear shaped structure known as a queen cell. This is much larger than an ordinary cell, rough, Irregular and strong. In this the selected, eggs, or larvae, are lavishly supplied with “royal jelly,” which is highly stimulative and in which the baby queen literally floats during her period of growth. The result is that certain organs and ovaries which remain dormant in a worker bee are perfected, and th« new queen hatches out in about fifteen days, or six days sooner than the workers.—London Answers. Headdreases In Africa. The married women and the men of the upper Mobangi wear their hair long and in braids, which are profusely adorned with colored beads woven in and out among the locks. This coiffure excites the astonishment of all travelers who see it. Coquetry is the privilege of the sex under the tropics as well as in civilized lands, and the women are very proud of their headdresses. The arrangement of their hair requires a number of days, and while it is in progress or when they fear that it will be disarranged they cover the hair with a finely woven net of wood fiber. Ivory needles handsomely carved keep the arrangement in position and give it a truly artistic aspect Curiov* Legal Custom. A curious custom is in vogue In many parts of India. If a dispute arises between two landowners two holes are dug close together, in each of which defendant's and plaintiff’s lawyers have to place a leg. They have to remain thus until either one of them is exhausted or complains of being bitten by insects, when he ia judged to be defeated and his employer loses his case. Audience Xot Gleeful. “So you belong to a glee club?” “Well,” answered the youth with longish hair, “that's what we call it, but no one seems very joyous when we ring.”—Washington Star. Wall Street Proverb. “A fool and his money,” remarked the observer of events and things, “soon get on the opposite sides of the market."—Yonkers Statesman. Don’t throw away the ladder by which ypu climbed. Ese it for kindling wood —Smart Set.
